Apple is sued after pressuring open-source iTunes project

The lawsuit was filed jointly in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and attorneys representing OdioWorks, the small Herndon, Va., company that runs Bluwiki. The lawyers argue that the iPodhash discussions were about reverse-engineering software, not breaking copy protection, and want a court ruling to clarify the matter.
